Governor Cuomo: «I believe the Senate is going to pass these two bills. That’s good. And that’s a nice thing. But it’s also irrelevant, unless the Assembly passes the bill. And there is no such thing as a celebration of one house passing a bill. Because one house passing a bill means nothing. It takes two to tango. It takes two to pass a bill. So I hope the Senate passes the bill, but we need the Assembly to pass the bill.»
Governor Andrew M. Cuomo, alongside Bravo TV producer and host Andy Cohen, Risa Levine of RESOLVE and Hank Greenberg of the NYS Bar Association pushed the State Legislature to pass legislation to legalize gestational surrogacy and ban the gay and trans panic defense before the end of session.
